Status Updates From Ritual Sins

I’m having trouble connecting with this MC, I don’t really care about the FMC investigation/revenge neither do i care about the scamming messiah MMC

“Nothing could interfere with my beauty sleep,” Esther said with a smirk. “Maybe it’s the result of living with a clear conscience.”

“And what is the truth? Are you some new age messiah or are you just a phenomenally accomplished con man?”

“The very fact that you still have doubts is reassuring. You think it’s possible I’m really a spiritual leader?”

“Stella Connery had been a herald, and Luke had always been a man to pay attention to signs and omens.”

“A cult leader with a republican conscience,” Rachel muttered. “What next?”

“Here would be a battle that would test his rusty skills, prove that there was no one immune to the power he could exert, when he chose to focus it.”

“but it rang with truth. Or at least, the truth she wanted to believe.”

“But even across a crowded courtroom she could feel the poisonous strands of his charisma, like a spider’s web reaching out toward any stray creature who wandered in its path.”

"Oh, Rachel," He murmured in his low seductive voice "It's always been about sex."

He pressed his forehead against hers, and that touch alone paralyzed her.

"Didn't you know that?"

I love Anne Stuart but omg her heroes never stop saying corny edge-lord one liners.

time for a re-read!

"It's going to storm."

"Running away?"He murmured, staring into the fire, his hair a long wet swathe down his back.

Fear was one thing. Pride was another.

"No," she said. Moving after him, still keeping her distance.

"Just as well," he murmured, squatting in front of fire.

"I locked the door."



I just got chills oh my gosh

"He's got a gift, Luke has. For drawing people to him. He'll get you as well, see if doesn't.No matter how much you think you hate him, he'll have you eating out of his hand before long. You'll be just as helpless as everyone else is, desperate for a word, a smile, even a glance. I can see it now." His glee was appalling.

"I'd kill myself first," Rachel said flatly.

Wow I didn't think this book would be so scary
